GCRF-BBR: The Global Vector Hub - The global open access community for vector control information and research

全球病媒中心是一个开放获取的互动资源，将改善对疟疾、登革热和寨卡等威胁生命的病媒传播疾病的控制。病媒传播的疾病影响到世界一半以上的人口，并通过不成比例地影响最不发达国家中最脆弱的社会而加剧贫困。全球病媒中心不仅有能力改变病媒研究和病媒控制规划，而且还能彻底改变我们的准备工作和迅速有效应对病媒传播疾病暴发的能力。我们的目标是通过开发一个收集、共享和传播数据和信息的全球平台，以有史以来规模最大的方式汇集世界各地多个学科、疾病和病媒的研究人员和卫生工作者。通过与世界卫生组织、疾病预防控制中心和全球卫生网络等组织合作，我们将为那些对控制昆虫传播疾病感兴趣的科学家、卫生工作者和项目管理人员创建一个包含有用数据、工具、指南和在线网络的信息资源，从而促进对那些受病媒传播疾病影响的人的支持，以及能够在政府层面改变疾病暴发方法的决策者。全球病媒中心将使用最先进的软件，确定并分享在何处和由谁进行的病媒研究和控制，加强世界各地的研究，并帮助共享数据和信息，促进各国的福利和经济发展。全球媒介中心将利用以下工具来确保资源的成功利用：蚊子数据库一个可下载或过滤的媒介、其分布、传播疾病、生物学和首选栖息地的数据库。一个互动地图将是一个核心功能，显示媒介物种在世界各地的分布，并提供关于传播疾病的弹出式摘要详细信息。具体国家内容将通过地图获得具体国家数据，并提供更深入的信息，包括目前的病媒控制方法、正在进行病媒控制的组织、研究机构和应急组织。Site finder将包含研究组织、机构和病媒控制计划的列表。站点查找器将是全球矢量中心内的一个独特资源，可以快速地将用户与在他们领域工作的其他人联系起来。参考资料参考资料部分将提供以下三个主要领域的在线文章、链接和可下载文档：培训和教育材料：网站上提供的培训和教育材料将介绍关键科目，并将主持标准操作程序。标准操作程序3.1.2。摘要documents3.1.3。教育resources3.2。病媒控制产品的检测和选择本节将使用户方便地获得世卫组织批准的产品清单及其制造商链接，以及可用于检测新产品的站点的联系方式详细信息。它还将就如何选择合适的病媒控制产品提供指导。一个广泛的数据库将提供已建立的在线资源的链接，从病媒控制规划网站到蚊子识别工具。这些将在以下几节中进行组织。讨论论坛全球病媒中心打算在研究不同疾病、不同病媒和不同控制工具的科学家、决策者、卫生保健工作者和病媒控制实施者之间就以下主题进行热烈讨论。

The Global Vector Hub is an open access, interactive resource that will improve the control of life-threatening vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Vector-borne diseases impact over half of the world's population and exacerbate poverty by disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable societies in the least-developed countries. The Global Vector Hub not only has the capacity to transform vector research and vector control programmes, but revolutionise our preparedness and ability to respond quickly and effectively to vector-borne disease outbreaks. We aim to bring together researchers and health workers on the largest scale ever seen, cutting across several disciplines, diseases and vectors around the world by developing a global platform for collecting, sharing and disseminating data and information. By working collaboratively with organisations such as the WHO, CDC and The Global Health Network, we will create an information resource with useful data, tools, guidelines and online networking for scientists interested in controlling diseases transmitted by insects, heath workers and programme managers facilitating the support of those affected by vector-borne diseases and policy makers able to make changes in the approach to disease outbreaks at a government level. Using state-of the-art software, the Global Vector Hub will identify and share what vector research and control is being done where and by whom, strengthening research around the world and helping to share data and information for the welfare and economic development of countries.The tools that the Global Vector Hub will utilise to ensure a successful resource will include the following:1. Mosquito databaseA database of vectors, their distributions, diseases transmitted, biology and preferred habitats available for download or for filtering.1.1. Mosquito distribution mapAn interactive map will be a core feature, showing the distribution of vector species across the world and providing pop-up summary details about the diseases transmitted.1.2. Country-specific contentCountry-specific data will be reached through the map and provide more in-depth information, including current vector control methods, who is doing vector control, research institutions and emergency response organisations.2. Site finderWill contain a list of research organisations, institutions and vector control programmes. The site finder will be a unique resource within the Global Vector Hub that can quickly put users into contact with others working in their field.3. ResourcesThe Resources section will provide online articles, links and downloadable documents in three main areas:3.1. Training and educational materialsTraining and educational materials available on the site will give introductions to key subjects, and will host standard operating procedures.3.1.1. Standard operating procedures3.1.2. Summary documents3.1.3. Educational resources3.2. Vector control product testing and selectionThis section will give users easy access to lists of products that have been approved by WHO and links to their manufacturers, as well as contacts details for sites available for testing novel products. It will also provide guidance on how to select suitable vector-control products.3.3. Online linksAn extensive database will provide links to established online resources, ranging from vector control programme websites to mosquito identification tools. These will be structured in the following sections4. Discussion forumsThe Global Vector Hub intends to create lively discussions on the following subjects between scientists working on different diseases, different vectors and different control tools, policy-makers, healthcare workers and vector control implementers.
